According to the Author of Hebrews, the Christian life consists of two things primarily: holding fast our confession to Christ while being faithful to Him, and holding fast in our commitments to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.

How can we obey His commands if we fail to believe His promises? Let us be people of behavior, yes, but let us be people of behavior who are rooted in belief of the promises of God and the Truths of His Word.

We are part of a squad of ultimate significance, a cloud of great witnesses, who cheer us on as we run the race. They don’t just cheer for us, but for also those running alongside us. Because we aren’t just called to run the race for ourselves, but to help our brothers and sisters run and finish well.

If we are going to have hope in the midst of a hopeless society, we must put our hope in something that is sure, something that is eternal, and something that is not fading. Our hope must be in what Christ has done on our behalf.

What the old covenant reveals to us is that mankind is far worse than we may have thought. But through the new covenant, and the work of Jesus Christ, the identity that we now have is fundamentally better than our old one. We’ve been completely changed, from the inside out.

The problem in Hebrews 6 is not just mere unbelief, it is something more serious, it is unbelief in the face of so much Light. The greater the Light, the greater the judgment; the enormity of Jesus increases the enormity of the crime. Our only hope is knowing that there is a God who cannot lie, and a Christ who cannot fail.

Jesus is our high priest. Not just any priest, but a priest who died on the cross to pay for our sins and one who intercedes on our behalf before the Father. Jesus, a priest who doesn’t need to make atonement for Himself, but becomes an atonement for his people.

Seeing Jesus as our better brother, keep us on being a better brother.Holding fast to Jesus is more than acknowledging that His work makes us part of the family, it propels us to act like part of the family.
